Panchang
Today is Amavasya of Krishna Paksha in Ashwin month, with the Moon in Chitra Nakshatra. It is observed as Ashwina Amavasya. Rahu Kaal: 2:06 pm–3:34 pm. Abhijit Muhurat, traditionally considered auspicious, is from 12:16 pm to 1:02 pm. The answers below are calculated for Dwarka, Gujarat and refresh every day.
On Thursday, 16 October 2031, the tithi in Dwarka is Amavasya, from 02:14 pm (prev day) to 01:51 pm, followed by Pratipada, from 01:51 pm to 01:00 pm (next day). It falls in Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada (Amanta) / Ashwin (Purnimanta).
The Moon is in Chitra, from 04:32 am to 04:31 am (next day), then Swati, from 04:31 am (next day) to 04:05 am (next day) on Thursday, 16 October 2031 in Dwarka. The Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Virgo.
Rahu Kaal in Dwarka today (Thursday) runs from 02:06 pm to 03:34 pm. It is a period of about 90 minutes that is traditionally avoided for starting new ventures; its timing depends on the weekday and on local sunrise and sunset, so it differs from city to city.
In Dwarka on Thursday, 16 October 2031, sunrise is at 06:50 am and sunset at 06:28 pm; moonrise is at 06:38 am. The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Abhijit Muhurat in Dwarka today is from 12:16 pm to 01:02 pm, around local midday. It is traditionally considered a favourable window.
Auspicious daytime choghadiya today: Shubh 06:50 am–08:17 am; Labh 12:39 pm–02:06 pm; Amrit 02:06 pm–03:34 pm; Shubh 05:01 pm–06:28 pm. Choghadiya divides the day and the night into eight parts each; Amrit, Shubh and Labh are the auspicious ones.
The Panchang is computed for the exact coordinates of Dwarka (22.24°N, 68.97°E) from the real positions of the Sun and Moon. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are shown with their start and end times, in Dwarka's local time.
“Panchang” means “five limbs”: tithi (lunar day), vaar (weekday), nakshatra (the lunar mansion the Moon occupies), yoga (a Sun–Moon angular combination) and karana (half of a tithi). Together with Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat and choghadiya, they are used to choose favourable times for prayers, travel and new beginnings.
